Italy need to avoid getting complacent
It’s easy for the Italians to get carried away. The players have been heavily criticized for the lacking the commitment when wearing the Azzurri jersey, and even the manager has been grilled on his decisions to leave several talented players back home.
A convincing win against one of the tournament favourites should fill them up with confidence, but not complacency. Conte rightly said that this win doesn’t mean anything yet, and ominously reminded the fans of the fact that the Italians had quite vibrantly won their opening game in the 2014 World Cup against a prestigious opponent as well, only to tumble out of the group.
